    Can't play Sea of Thieves on Xbox game pass for PC


    EDIT: I fixed the issue. I had to uninstall the game, then uninstall the Xbox App. Then when I pressed the install button again it said "Downloading 2 MB of 2 MB" while it was scanning my hard drive for the game files. I guess it didn't actually uninstall
    the game when I told it to (I saw the game file and it still showed 50GB in the folder). So multiple issues all around with this app.

    I was going to delete this post, but there's an error when trying to delete the post also. Microsoft is on a roll here with these bugs! haha

    ORIGINAL POST:

    Game is downloaded, but when I press the "Play" button, nothing happens. Other games play fine.

    I already signed out / back in. Updated windows to latest version (#2004). Restarted multiple times. Not sure what else to try. Thanks for any help

    :)

    Hello MrKermit,

    Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. Before I try to assist, I do have a few questions.

    1) Are you playing Sea of Thieves on PC or Xbox?
    2) When you previously played Sea of Thieves, was that also through Game Pass? Or was it purchased elsewhere?

    3) When you originally played Sea of Thieves, was it through the same Gamertag that is now an active Game Pass subscriber?

    I look forward to your response,

    -Tali

    Xbox Insider hub problem with network try again.

    If you're trying to play the Xbox Insider version of Sea of Thieves, then be aware that this was the closed Beta before the game launched.

    Unless they added an Insider Version after I checked two days ago, you can't play that version, as the servers don't accept the Sea of Thieves Beta client anymore.

    You will have to buy the actual game, or have an active Game Pass subscription to be able to play Sea of Thieves.

    Shift F enabling Microphone Feedback in Xbox Game Bar or Xbox Beta App

    Maybe it's a Sea of Thieves setting as I haven't seen anything yet in Xbox Game Bar that uses SHIFT+F. Unfortunately I don't play Sea of Thieves on PC so I can't check that to confirm for you.

    Xbox game pass transfer

    Just to add, Sea of Thieves is a Play Anywhere title, so if you already own it digitally on Xbox, you can still play it on the PC without needing games pass.
